RB 25det stage 2 will hit 450-475. about 11,200 after the engine swap (5,000-8,000)

Sr20det will get there only because of the after market but you WILL be broke unless you're rich.

RB26dett costs around 12,000-17,000 for install and parts are hella epensive.

Hey man....I am somewhat in a similar dilemma. However my car is a '97 240 that is in amazing condition unfortunately it is an auto.
But I plan to do an engine swap with a RB25DET with 5spd tranny as well as do complete suspension work(rims & tires also), body work, paint job, interior, cage and racing seats etc etc etc
But you have to be realistic. There is no way unless you have a crap load of money can you do this all over a short time frame.
So what I did was come up with a schedule and a list of whats important to me to do first. It will take me 1-2 years to complete but I am doing one area at a time leaving body kit and paintjob till the last
So just do what I did...plan it out ahead and do 1 thing at a time whatever you feel is important to you. Example: I am going engine swap first because I hate auto in a sports car and want some power first. Then I will do suspensoin to handle it all and so on and so forth
Takes time and money bro good luck
